They all seem to vary....mine an earlier model (2017)....I have 2x 2S 3100mAh li-ion and 1x lipo 2S 1100mAh in the nose, my ECU 3s 2100mAh is beside the nose retract
I do have the fuel UAT and smoke UAT with 2 pumps just in front of the fuel/smaller tank....with a K140...

Wow, it really does seem to vary. . I must say that I am a little surprised that you have thrust vectoring with servo in the rear and still could not put your receiver batteries in the nose. Thank you all for the input gentleman.

I am still waiting on mine (12wks) With a K140 and smoke system 2 X life receiver bats, and 3800Life ecu bat and two small Lipos for the landing lights, gear and smoke pump I was planning on putting all the batteries in the nose but I may have to re-evaluate that to get the CG in the 235-240 range. Of course this would be easier if I actually had the plane in my possession 😊

I have a K-160 with two hard case 4000 mah 2S LiPos under the nose cone. Have PBox Mercury under the deck. The rest of the stuff is mounted on the deck including the Nav light controller and the 2000 mah 2S LiPo flat Rxer pack to drive the lights. No other weight was needed. I roll it over, w/o gyro on, and it flies straight as an arrow.

I started at 250mm but moved back to the centre of the wing tube at 260mm, I found at this point it felt comfortable inverted with just a little push on the elevator stick.
As others have said c of g is not too critical

In the process of reading the entire thread but have a couple questions..
Is it still up to the user to install the nose gear door or does it come done at the factory with a servo installed like the Mini?
Whats the current wait time if I order today?
Really debating between the factory electric gear or electrons, how are the factory gear holding up? I’m probably going to go with Electrons.

T1 Delivery
T1 is a great flying aircraft but the company that makes them is very marginal as far as customer service is concerned. I ordered one when they first came out and finally cancelled it when the delivery time went to over 4 months. I then bought the first used T-1 to hit the market and absolutely loved the way it flew! Unfortunately I lost it due to the front nose cone departing the aircraft as a result of the "aluminum" small retainer nut stripping due to only two threads engaged the alumnium nut and not knowing that was all retaining the nose cone assembly! Aerodynamically it pulled the nose straight into the only rock pile within miles and totally destroyed aircraft, turbine and all electronics! Only thing salvageable was the electric gear (Electron), ecu, fuel pump and several servos! At the beginning of May I called Dirk and ordered a new replacement with a factory commitment from Dirk at 6 to 8 weeks! I received the aircraft 11 weeks later and uphon inspection found that both stabs and both both flaps had major paint issues on the top surfaces and was missing the turbine hatch latch! After waiting that long I was very unhappy to say the least! I contacted Dirk and he dealt with the factory and to their credit they agreed to replace all of the items and to keep what I had. Initially they said it would be several weeks before it would ship due to some delays in getting paint dimension they had to have from me I received the items 8 weeks later and they were perfect!
I want to make sure everyone understands that without Dirks "tireless efforts" I probably would haven given up and returned everything which he offered to do! His customer service is beyond reproach and on several occasions was told things by the factory that were false!! I will probably never deal with T-1 again but will always deal with Dirk where possible!
I make this post for three reasons:
1. At a minimum double the shipping time for anything coming from T-1 factory.
2. Be extremely cautious with the nose cone retainer! The way they install the aluminum it''s not easy to replace with a steel locking nut so check it often and use blue lock-tite and do not over tighten!
3. Without a doubt Pacific R C Jets and Dirk specifically is a straight shooter and will always go the extra mile for his customers!

Still waiting for my thrust vectoring to arrive. In the meantime I got my plumbing completed, smoke installed, gps, 160n turbine, receiver and smoothflite installed. Can't go much further until I balance it and figure out were to put the batteries. I primarily went with the Smoothflite because it has a thrust vectoring feature that works with the gyro. Trying to wait for the new thrust vectoring set up so I wont have to balance twice but I may just go ahead and finish everything up
